The movie Losers directed by Ivailo Hristov is strong, intriguing and humane film. It raises a series of questions about the country's post-totalitarian reality, about the depopulating Bulgarian towns, the lack of occupation that forced many parents to work abroad, in order to support their families. This is a movie about the difficult childhood, solidarity and love.
